We are now selling a collection of PAULINE OLIVEROS books and CDs that were generously donated as a gift to Meridian by Pauline herself to raise money for Meridian Gallery.

Also in this store you will find of the works for sale which have been donated by artists who have exhibited at Meridian Gallery in the past, and who wish to contribute to our ongoing fundraising efforts.

Because we are a non-profit gallery, all of the proceeds will be used to support gallery operations, including those of our programs (Meridian Exhibitions, Meridian Music: Composers in Performance, Meridian Dance, and the Meridian Interns Program).

Your purchase is a 100% tax deductible donation to Meridian Gallery and its non-profit parent, the Society for Art Publications of the Americas.

39 works on this 3 cd set. 3 CDs for the price of 2. Phase/Transitions is a 3-CD set of 39 electro/acoustic improvisations by Triple Point. There have been no overdubs or post-processing. Triple Point is an improvising trio whose core instrumentation is soprano saxophone, greis/electronics and V-accordion. The name refers to the point of equilibrium on a phase plot, which acts as metaphor for our improvisational dialogue. Their musical interaction is centered around an interplay between acoustics, physically-modeled acoustics (v-accordion) and electronics. Van Nort captures the sound of the other performers on-the-fly, either transforming these in the moment to create blended textures or new sonic gestures, or holding them for return in the near future. Oliveros changes between timbres and "bends" the intended factory sound models through her idiosyncratic use of the virtual instrument, while Braasch explores extended techniques including long circular-breathing tones and multiphonics. This mode of interaction has resulted in situations where acoustic/electronic sources are indistinguishable without very careful listening, while others times this becomes wildly apparent. This continual, fluid morphing is a product of Deep Listening and living in the moment.
